Computer crashed and I lost all my code on a project. New computer up and I have it stored in the BS2. How can I read the data off the eprom?

    Hello,

    The data on the EEPROM is all tokens for the interpreter and not in a human readable form. You will have to rewrite your program. Take care.

    try putting your drive from your old computer in a $40USD (BEST BUY) USB enclosure and you can possibly retrieve the data.

    Another suggestion similar to TechnoRobbo is to use a program called
    SpinRite from GRC.Com. You can download a trial version to see if
    it works.

    This program is truly miraculous in recovering data from a hard drive
    crash. I've used it to bring back to life hard drives that the BIOS
    couldn't find.

    It only works for drives connected to the IDE controller on motherboards.
    Won't function on external hard drives.

    Worth a try.
